# Installing QPix 3.6

QPix is available as a plug-in bundle for MacOS X (Universal Binary) and Windows.

License registration

QPix 3.6 requires QPix 3.5 license keys (it will not work with earlier keys). Visit www.escape.gr/q/q_order.html for pricing information.

Update your QuickTime installation

A full installation of the latest version of QuickTime 6 or later is recommended.

Plug-in files installation

QPix comes in the bundle plug-in format. There are no separate files for Mac, Win32, and Win64; just the cross-platform plug-in bundle that shows up as a package on Mac or as a folder on Windows.

- QPix.bundle goes into the Plugins folder next to the database structure.
- 0QLM.bundle is a plug-in that controls licensing and goes into the Plugins folder next to the database structure.
- QTMLGlue.dll goes into the following location, depending on the runtime environment:
  - For interpreted or compiled databases, into the Resources folder next to the database structure under 4D v11 (into the Extras folder when using 4D 2004.x).
  - For built applications (single-user), into the Resources folder inside the Database folder.
  - For built server applications, into the Resources folder inside the Server Database folder.

0QLM.bundle will provide its services to all Escape plug-ins in your Plugins folder.

QTMLGlue.dll is required if 4D/4D Server is running on Windows, and may be omitted if the database runs only on Mac OS X.

Other files

QPix comes with an extra plug-in called QTAtoms.bundle. This plug-in contains the QT atom commands of the deprecated QFree plug-in (QFree has been discontinued because its other functionality can be implemented using 4D v11 and 4D Internet Commands).

The QPix demo database uses a 4D component called QTilities.4DB. This component contains handy utility methods for handling pathnames, etc, which are used in the QPix demo database. If you want to use these utilities or if you would like to replicate functionality from the demo database, make sure to also copy this component into the Components folder next to your database.

At best, use or create these folders next to your database file. Other locations may work in some cases too (mostly with 4D Mono), but the recommended location is next to your database file (inside your database folder).

Compatible Escape plug-in versions

If your database uses more Escape plug-ins, make sure to use coordinated plug-in versions. Versions you should use with QPix 3.6 are:

- QMedia/QMediaLight 1.6
- QDrop 1.6
- QGrid 1.6
- QMedical 1.6
